swag Posted February 22, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2012 Picked this up today. Out of my collecting focus, but it had a belt with it so I brought them home with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History Man Posted February 23, 2012 Share #4 Posted February 23, 2012 Nice pick up! The jacket is not a mess dress but it is a dress uniform. Mess dress is a jacket that looks cut - down. By the tag, I think this i 60s/70s onward. Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Morris Posted February 23, 2012 Share #5 Posted February 23, 2012 In Navy terminology, it's not a jacket, it's a blouse. Specifically, it's a blouse for a "service dress blue" uniform. The belt is a standard US Navy sword belt, worn by officers only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hudson Posted February 23, 2012 Share #7 Posted February 23, 2012 Look in the inside pockets and you may find the officer's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
